"I'll help you" Sarah looked at the dark woman speaking.

"Why? I doubt you would help me just from the kindness of your heart." The offer was generous, but after experiencing first handed the "generosity" of the fae, Sarah was very aware that everything in the underground has a price.

She saw Doraemoon startle a second before composing herself.

"Helping you benefit me"

"How?" Sarah won't satisfy herself with that answer, if she was to trust the woman, she needed to know exactly why this princess would help her against her sister. Said princess visibly wasn't expecting Sarah to further the topic, still she resigned herself and blurted.

"My sister is blind… it's my fault she…" both women stayed silent while the princess thought about her answer.

"My sister always had this mean streak; she played jokes, often cruel, and lied a lot. Growing up we had a friend, him and I were really close. Sillia became jealous because, due to her temper, few of her friend stayed for long in her life, I overheard her plan one of her jokes on him and, to teach her a lesson, I decided to blind her for the week, so I put a potion in her cup and waited, but, she had put another potion as a joke in the meal and poured the antidote in her cup the two potions reacted and after she drank she was blind for life. "

"I tried to fix it, really tried but I never found out how. Of course she found out, and when she did, she exploited the debt I had to her, threatening to go and tell our parents, she sent me on missions, took absolute control of my life with the promise that if I helped her achieve happiness she would forgive me. And now, if I protect her from the goblin king, my debt will be paid and I'll finally be free. That's why I want to help you."

Sarah stared at the older woman, here was a powerful magical being manipulated by her little sister, 'well they're closer to human than they think', being a big sister Sarah understood all the emotion but not the actions. Still, if this was why the woman would help her, who was she to judge her?

"Fine, I trust you, what is your plan?"

"Well if I mark you before my sister does she won't be able to use this to her advantage"

Sarah immediately saw the flaw in this plan. "But she could manipulate you to use me"

"No, I would have repaid my debt it's okay"

"Princess, I hate to be the one telling you this, but, she will never stop debt or not, your sister has a willing puppet and I doubt she will release you without a fight, don't you know someone else who can mark me?"

"Well, I could mark you with someone else's crest, I can mark you for my sister, the goblin king, me, my parents but, they might let Sillia use you, let's see the sandman… of course! I can mark you with the Sandman's crest he will protect you."

"But why would he do that?"

"Let's just say he has a special fondness for your kind"

"Alright, I don't have a choice anyway" following the instructions Sarah lifted her hair so the fae woman can work; she felt soft tickles and warmth, then nothing.

"There it's done"

The princess just had the time to finish her sentence before the door exploded revealing a very angered goblin king, an anxious woman and a good-looking guy who was looking at Sarah with such adoration that it was beginning to be very awkward.

Jareth waved his hand and Doraemoon found herself pinned to the wall, while Sillia rushed to Sarah, as soon as the woman touched her she felt the magic, the cute man was here too, checking for injury, he looked both scared that she might have been hurt and scared to touch her, he was looking like a boy with a crush, when his finger brushed against the mark on her neck he smiled to Sarah, it was kind of the other hand, the woman wasn't that cute, she was trying to imprint her mark on her, her touch was far less gentle than Doraemoon and her face twisted in fury before she turned to the poor woman pinned to the wall.

"YOU STUPID GIRL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, IS THIS HOW YOU REPAY ME?"

Breaking her bond the dark-haired sister raised her head "yes"

"This is not over Doraemoon, our parents won't be happy to learn of your crimes" with that she ran to the door, leaving the man fussing over Sarah.

Jareth circled the dark-haired princess. "She's right you know, nobody defy me in my kingdom"

Sarah jumped to her feet "NO, she was trying to help me, please"

"Stay out of this fight, it's between the princess and I" hissed the goblin king.

The man next to her grabbed her by her shoulder and led at a safe distance. The tension hung heavily in the air while the goblin king and the princess faced each other. He attacked first launching an ominous black cloud, quickly dissipated by the princess who retaliated by conjuring vines to trap him. The fight was impressive each adversaries launching spell after spell.

After launching a cloud to blind her, Doremoon felt Jareth hand brush her shoulder sending a wave of pleasure in her arm, she struggled to compose herself.

"Two can play this game" the fae woman panted, placing her hand on the skin of the king's chest, he moaned closing his eyes.

"This is nothing" he retaliated before he grabbed her tight, the pleasure was far more intense and keeping her mind in the fight was harder by the minutes, but she studied body magic for centuries and there was no way she would lose this fight if she had to send him in a sex induced coma so be it! The king was obviously thinking the same; it was time to level up the fight.

Sarah was watching the unusual fight in front of her, when she heard her protector mutter "leave it to him to engage in a body magic duel" it was weird, more than weird, the two adversaries seemed to fight with caress and, well, pleasure. The situation quickly began to be even more awkward when, in an effort to probably send the king in a sex induced coma, the princess ripped his shirt to reach more skin, and the king started tugging to the ties of her dress.

"How about I take you out of here?" Sarah looked at her savior and nodded, some tickling sensation later they had left behind them the weirdest (and the most arousing not that she will ever admit it), fight she saw in her life and appeared in her room.

"Thank you …hum"

"Orpheus" her eyes widened, Orpheus, her Orpheus? Impossible. He must have sensed her question because he answered.

"Yes, I'm the author of the letters, I really wasn't expecting to meet you like that "he said flashing a tentative smile.

"Me neither" she cracked a small smile even though she still was unsure about him.

"Are you alright? I don't know what happened to you with this woman" so Sarah told her tale since jenny gave her the bracelet to Jareth explosive entrance

"… and that's all, do you think she'll be okay, she tried to help me, I wouldn't want her to be punished"

"Don't worry for that Jareth may be scary but he won't hurt her, he would risk war with the earth forest kingdom if he did, she's still a princess after all." 'He has a very kind smile 'she thought.

"Sarah, I know I'm not what you expected but, if you want to, I would like to spend some time with you." Blushing madly she adverted his gaze answering "yes that would be nice"

"So, tomorrow, same hour same place?"

"Sure" he grabbed her hand and kissed it before vanishing.
